Dobbs splits the seam and takes it to the endzone! Denver dropped 8 and nobody had eyes on him until it was too late.
JOSHUA DOBBS DOING JOSHUA DOBBS THINGS!!!! #Mahomes2.0 ?

Stop. Just stop with that, and don't be silly. He's more RGIII. PROB could be great, but most likely he's passable. A game manager.

There’s your typical Mattison drop.
Mattison is brutal
That was, indeed, terrible.

Go from possibly a dagger drive to Denver in field goal range in 3 plays after a fumble smh.
Good Lord why Mattison continues to get as many touches as he does I'll never understand. And sadly Dobbs with 2 fumbles (luckily only lost the 1). It's hard to win when you turn the ball over that often.

Yeah I clearly think Dobbs is just as good as Mahomes ? after all Dobbs just did something no other NFL QB has ever done score a passing and rushing TD in each of his first 3 games with a team.
Rough stretch for Bolles there. ?
Great play by Wonnum on 3rd down, getting a sack with 1 arm.
Vikings defense holds another FG.
Now stop turning the GD ball over.

So many turnovers
It’s safe to say this is not a Super Bowl preview
Vikings defense bails out the offense AGAIN.
17-15 as Denver kicks a FG from the 10
We are Minnesota Nice constantly sharing the ball with the other team. ?
Defense keeps the Broncos out of the end zone again.
20-18 MN win and Our Kevinly Father goes on a Jerry Burns rant. I would pay to see that happen.

3-and-out as Dobbs throws behind Addison by 3 yards
A HUGE Fake punt. How about those tricky Vikings!!!!!
FAKE PUNT!!!
Chandler takes the snap and runs for 32 yards and a first down!
Could one BE more surprised at that? /Chandler

Why is Mattison getting the ball so much?
How much would fans have been bitching saying KOC is an ABSOUTE idiot if the fake punt doesn't work?
KOC HAS STONES!!!!

Not a fan of how these drives end.
Does Mattison need glasses? I’ve never seen a running back who runs into his own linemen this much.

Mike Alstott was similar. He needed someone to hit, didn't matter who, when he ran.

Vikings defense lets Denver get into scoring territory again. 2 minute warning.
Need a turnover.
Pace rips the ball out but it rolls OB before he can get his hands on it. Would have been a phenomenal play
You’d think it wouldn’t be so frustrating when it is so predictable, but it is.
Rookie CB Mekhi Blackmon is late to recognize a floating pass and Sutton goes up to get it. Way too late to break on that ball.
3 timeouts and 1:03 left to get into FG range
Good time for Hockenson to forget how to hold on to the ball.
That was good D. I was/am a critic of Hawk and that one, I will let go.

Dobbs lack of timing on any pass plays beyond 5 yards is rearing its ugly head
Turnovers sink us again.
This isn’t about the RB. This OL can’t run block for shit.
Honestly I blame the playcalling on that last drive...8 yard routes to TJ were never going to do much. Hell I would argue it was better he dropped the second one.
They weren't hiding they were blitzing and we left no outlets. Dobbs had zero chance.
Flores not adjusting to Wilson playing check down Charlie was disappointing as well.
Oh well on to the next!
This isn’t about the RB. This OL can’t run block for shit.
So they’re not blocking well for Mattison but they are for Chandler cause he seems to be doing fine. Got it.
Hopefully this is the game that severely limits Mattison’s playing time going forward.
On the bright side, I believe Lowry was the only Viking that got injured. Don’t think he’s a big loss either.
Onward. Still in good position for the playoffs.
Did not seem like Chandler was great at picking up blitzes which might be problematic if he was made RB1

Tough to lose by less than 3 when that missed penalty on the first fumble led to 3 at a time MN offense was clicking.
As for the future, I am guessing that if Dobbs continues to play well enough, the Vikes try to use the threat of hiring Dobbs as the starter to get Cousins to settle even lower than he was already wiling to do. Dobbs is fun to watch, but his accuracy is lacking on a lot of plays. Lots of high passes setting up receivers to get crushed. (Those two late to TJ would likely have been caught before the DB got there if straight to his chest.) And he's had multiple passes nearly picked where he was not leading receiver at all, or was even well behind. Even when wide open, receivers have had to wait for ball to arrive, limiting yards after catch. Of course it is obvious what Dobbs adds over Cousins with his legs.
I think it is pretty obvious what Vikes have to do. Get them both on contract and surgically attach Cousin's torso to Dobbs' legs. Of course you are playing with fire, because if your QB gets injured, your back up is a really smart QB that can't pass or run.
I don't think they're run blocking well for either. Chandler has had a small data set. Watch the running plays and find the holes the RBs have to run through. They often don't exist. I think any running back would struggle with this OL.This isn’t about the RB. This OL can’t run block for shit.
So they’re not blocking well for Mattison but they are for Chandler cause he seems to be doing fine. Got it.
I am not advocating for Mattison at all. I think they should play Chandler more if he is getting better carries (and can block). But this team needs to improve its run blocking because it really sucks.... for whoever is running the ball.
The Vikes are 2-64 when turning the ball over 3 times on the road in a game
Aloha!

I love obscure factoids like this
Gone for four games...again.Kareem Jackson has been fined, ejected, or suspended for hits like that seemingly every week this year but is still allowed to play.
